Thank god I use linux
Yup, though I don't think I could've switched earlier. I switched my first year of college when I rented a computer, and then used it ever since. My parents certainly wouldn't let me change the family computer, but I did have my own computer as a teen that I installed FreeBSD on (some guy at the local community college gave me a disk).
Seems like everyone who successfully switches, has this regret.
I actually kept dual boot specially for games.
And never used the Windows boot after that (even though the option was there). Turns out it is more fun learning new stuff about a new OS than it is playing games on an OS that you have to fight every time.
So what you're saying is we need adverts in the console?
Ubuntu is calling
you can implement that yourself RIGHT NOW! just stuff a little single liner at the end of your .bashrc, it'll be run everytime you open it ez pz.
Technically Ubuntu did that. Buuuut it was one line of text advertising that you can get ultra-long term software support on up to 5 PCs for free.
To my knowledge it also only showed it once.
So a lot more forgivable than MS's bullshit.
That said, I still avoid Ubuntu for other reasons.
